Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition defined in the 2011 Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of overactive bladder issued by the Chinese Society of Urology as “a syndrome characterized by symptoms of urinary urgency, often associated with frequent and nocturnal urination, with or without urge urinary incontinence”. Although we hear the combination of “urinary frequency and urgency incontinence” from time to time, we have little idea of what it really means. Director Liu Cundong gave us a detailed explanation of the typical symptoms of OAB so that we can have an overall knowledge of OAB: Urge to urinate is described in medical terms as a sudden and compulsive desire to urinate that is difficult to delay. In essence, it means “inability to hold urine”. Frequent urination, repeatedly going to the toilet, urinating more than 8 times during the day and night, with a volume of less than 200 ml each time. Excessive nocturnal urination, waking up after sleep more than 2 times a day to urinate, the number of such nocturnal urination is called nocturia. Urge incontinence, uncontrollable leakage of urine after the onset of the urge to urinate. oab may or may not be accompanied by urge incontinence. The above 4 symptoms are the most typical symptoms of overactive bladder disorder. It is worth noting that OAB is characterized by urgency as the core symptom. Director Liu Cundong emphasized, “If a patient does not have symptoms of urgency, but only urinary frequency and incontinence, it is not diagnosed as OAB.” There is a table for self-testing overactive bladder disorder. Peeing is the easiest thing for the average person, but for the “active bladder “OAB is not life threatening, but it can have a serious impact on quality of life. Many patients are afraid to run to the hospital for treatment because it is difficult to talk about it and delay the disease. “The best time to treat OAB is to be open and honest with your doctor.” Director Liu Cundong said. ”The cause of OAB is still unclear, and clinical diagnosis is not simple. But the general public need not bother, there are self-testing scales to help patients detect OAB early,” said Director Liu Cundong, who provided us with the OABSS scale, which the public can cross-reference according to their own symptoms. Based on the following OABSS scale, when the score of question 3 is above 2 and the whole OABSS score is above 3, the initial diagnosis is OAB patients. If the self-test results meet the quantitative criteria for OAB, it is best to seek help from a professional physician for guidance. The OABSS quantitative criteria for the severity of OAB are: score ≤ 5, mild OAB 6 ≤ score ≤ 11, moderate OAB score ≥ 12, severe OAB.
